With the growing demands of English language in the global context, efforts are being made in the developing contexts to improve the quality of teaching. However, the teaching practices of English language vary from context to context based on the contextual realities. Several studies have been done to highlight the notion of effective teaching in terms of teachers' instructional strategies and the students' characteristics. The current study explored the perceptions of the stakeholders about the effective teaching of English in Gilgit Baltistan (GB). The study was carried out using the qualitative research paradigm. The data was collected through Focus Group Discussions (FGD), classroom observations and post observation interviews. Purposive sampling technique was used for the selection of participants. Out of four school in the village, three (one public one private and one community based) schools were selected. The research participants include three head teachers, six English language teachers and thirty students who participated in the FGD. Out of them three teachers, one from each school was selected for in-depth understanding which was done through classroom observation and post observation interviews. The analysis of the data focused on the perceptions of the stakeholders' (teachers, head teachers and students) effective teaching of English language. The major findings of the study showed that in the context of Buber GB English is taught as a subject rather than as a language. Moreover, it was found that English language is taught only from the examination point of view. The stake holders linked the effective teaching of English language with the students' success in the examination. English is generally taught through traditional methods particularly, Grammar Translation Method (GTM). The factors that influence the teachers' choice of selecting the methods are: lack of professional trainings, exam system of Pakistan and exam oriented syllabus, overcrowded classes, limited exposure, home environment and workload. Based on the findings, it is recommended that the teachers of English should be provided professional sessions about the variety of teaching methods. Particularly, they should be given awareness about ways of adapting the methods in order to make them contextually relevant.

سیدسجاد حیدر یلدرم

سید سجاد حیدریلدرم مرحوم
۱۲؍ اپریل ۱۹۴۳؁ء کی رات کو سید سجاد حیدر مرحوم نے جو ادب کی دنیا میں یلدرم کے نام سے مشہور تھے، قلب کے عارضہ سے دفعتہ وفات پائی، یہ علی گڑھ کالج کے پرانے تعلیم یافتوں میں اور اسی تعلق سے کالج کے ان چند طالب علموں میں تھے جنہوں نے مولانا شبلی مرحوم کے درس اور صحبت سے شعر و ادب کا ذوق حاصل کیا تھا، مرحوم مولانا کے درس کے اس قسم کے واقعات کو مزے لے لے کر بیان کیا کرتے تھے، ان کا اصل وطن نہٹور (یوپی) میں تھا، ۱۹۰۱؁ء میں بی، اے کی سند پاکر تعلیم سے فراغت پائی۔
ہماری زبان میں اس وقت ادب لطیف کا جو رواج ہے، اس کے پرانے لکھنے والوں میں سب سے پہلا نام سید حیدر مرحوم کا ہے اور چونکہ قادر مطلق کو ان سے یہ کام لینا تھا، اس لئے ان کی زندگی میں اس کا مناسب سامان بھی پیدا کردیا یعنی یہ کہ کالج کے زمانہ ہی میں ان کو ترکی پڑھنے کا خیال ہوا، علی گڑھ میں نواب محمد اسمٰعیل خان صاحب رئیس علی گڑھ کے والد بزرگوار ہجرت کرکے مکہ معظمہ چلے گئے تھے، وہیں نواب محمد اسمٰعیل خاں صاحب کی تعلیم و تربیت ہوئی، اس زمانہ میں ترکی وہاں کی سرکاری زبان تھی، اس لئے ان کو ترکی بھی پڑھائی گئی اور جب وہ ہندوستان آئے تو وہ ترکی ادب کے گویا نمائندہ ہوکر آئے، چنانچہ سرسید کے ’’تماشائے عبرت‘‘ میں وہ اسی ہیئت سے اسٹیج پر آئے ہیں اور معارف علی گڑھ میں جس کے وہ شریک ایڈیٹر تھے، وہی ترکی ادب کی اشاعت کا ذریعہ بنے۔
بہرحال سجاد حیدر مرحوم نے انہی سے ترکی زبان سیکھی اور اس کا یہ فائدہ ان کو پہنچا کہ سرکار انگریزی نے ان کو علی گڑھ...

Pengaruh Leverage, Good Corporate Governance, dan Pertumbuhan Laba terhadap Kualitas Laba Perusahaan yang Terindeks Jakarta Islamic Indeks di Bursa Efek Indonesia

This research is entitled Analysis Leverage, Good Corporate Governance (GCG), and Profit Quality on Earnings Quality in Companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) and indexed by the Jakarta Islamic Index (JII). This research was conducted because the previous research was mostly conducted on companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange, while only a few were conducted on companies indexed by the Jakarta Islamic Index so that research was very open, by adding variables namely profit quality and earnings quality. The purpose of this study was to determine the direct effect on earnings quality in companies indexed by the Jakarta Islamic Index.The population of this study are companies listed and indexed by the Jakarta Islamic Index on the Indonesia Stock Exchange, while the samples used are financial reports for 2018-2020. The sampling method was carried out using purposive sampling method. The number of samples obtained was 90 company data listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange and indexed by the Jakarta Islamic Index (30 companies and an observation period of 3 years, namely 2018-2020). The data analysis method used by the author is multiple linear regression analysis method both partially and simultaneously using SPSS 23. The results showed that partially leverage has a significant effect on earnings quality, good corporate governance has a significant effect on earnings quality and earnings quality has a significant effect on earnings quality, while simultaneously showing that leverage, good corporate governance, and earnings quality have a significant effect on earnings quality.

Clinical Assessment of Pediatric Pharmacotherapy and its Predictors at Tertiary Care Hospitals of Peshawar, Pakistan

Pediatric pharmacotherapy aims to ensure safe and effective use of drugs in various population of children. However, due to varied pediatric pharmacokinetic drug profile and lack of pediatric drug data as compared to adults, it is difficult to achieve the optimal drug therapy in pediatrics. Studies regarding dosage errors, drug interactions, unlicensed and off label drug use in pediatric population will help the health care professionals in identification and management of drug interactions as well as unlicensed and off label drug use. Patient drug profiles of 4240 patients were evaluated using Micromedex Drug-Dex and Drug-Reax at pediatric department in four tertiary care hospitals of Pakistan (3 public and 1 private). The association between studied risk factors was analyzed using logistic regression to calculate the odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI). In pediatric surgical units, total of 895 patients drug profiles were analyzed which described mean number of drug was 3.51 ± 1.50. Of all the patients, 351 (39.21%) had sub-therapeutic doses and 67 (7.48%) had overdoses, while 148 (16.54%) patients were exposed to DDIs. A total of 11 drug combinations were observed that led to 160 DDIs. Overall, 3168 drugs were prescribed of which 1931 (64.89%) were unlicensed and 1542 (48.67%) were off labeled. Indication (38.71%) and dose (34.82%) were the most frequent off label categories in all the therapeutics classes. Chi square value revealed that unlicensed drug use was significantly associated with the type of hospital (p<0.0001). A significant association was also found between unlicensed (p<0.0001) and off label (p<0.031) drug prescribing with age groups. Multivariate binary logistic regression analysis revealed that infants (OR 4.092, 95%CI 2.272-7.370) and children (OR 2.691, 95%CL 1.581-4.581) age groups were 4 times and 2.6 times respectively more likely to receive unlicensed medicines, while they were significantly less likely, Abstract v (OR 0.270, 95%CI 0.109-0.667) and (OR 0.320, 95%CL 0.133-0.769), to receive off label medicines than adolescent group. Pediatric patients receiving less than 5 medications were significantly less likely to receive unlicensed drug (OR 0.105, 95%CL 0.051-0.213) and off-label drugs (OR 0.117, 95%CL 0.42-0.323) as compared to pediatric patients that received 5 or more medications. Male patients were 2.1 times more likely to receive unlicensed medicines (OR 2.103, 95%CL 1.507-2.937), while they received substantially less amount of off-label medicines (OR 0.685, 95%CL 0.458-1.024) as compared to females. Hospital stay of less than 5 days (OR 0.397, 95%CL 0.228-0.629) carried significantly less risk of off label prescription as compared to patients staying at hospital for more than 5 days. In the pediatric medical wards of all the hospitals 1375 patients were analyzed. The mean number of prescribed drugs per patient was 3.93 ± 1.85. Analysis of 1375 cases revealed sub-therapeutic doses in 571 (41.2%) cases while overdoses was observed in 136 (9.89%) cases. In 1375 medical ward patients, 239 (17.38%) had at least one DDI regardless of type of severity. A total of 101 interacting drug pairs were identified causing 417 drug-drug interactions, while 100 drugs were prescribed 5708 times, of which 65.66% prescriptions were unlicensed by FDA. The percentage of off label prescriptions were 52.99%. Evaluating off label drug categories showed that dose (35.7%) and age (19.4%) were the highest reason observed for off label prescriptions. Significant association was found between unlicensed drug use with type of hospitals (p<0.001). A significant association was also found between unlicensed (p<0.002) and off label (p<0.0001) use of drugs with age groups. Multivariate binary logistic regression revealed that pediatric patients receiving drugs 5 or less drugs were significantly less likely to receive unlicensed prescriptions (OR 0.112, CL95% 0.027- Abstract vi 0.461) and off label drugs (OR 0.180, CL95% 0.073-447) as compared to patients who received 5 or more drugs. Analysis of 250 patients in the cardiology ward of HMC revealed the mean number of prescribed drugs to be 4.67±2.07. Of all the patients, 59.69% had sub-therapeutic doses and 5.52% had overdoses while132 (52.8%) had at least one DDI regardless of type of severity. Out of total drug prescriptions (1231), 43.05% were unlicensed and 44.59% were off labeled. In multivariate analysis, occurrence of unlicensed prescriptions were significantly more likely associated with infants (OR 10.288, CL 1.839-57.547) and children (OR 12.822, CL 2.004-62.025) age group as compared to adolescent group, while infant (OR 5.850, CL 1.131-30.246) age group was significantly 5.8 times more likely to receive off label prescription as compared to adolescent group. Among 1300 neonatal patients, 192 (14.76%) were premature in all nurseries of four tertiary care hospitals. Mean number of prescribed drugs were 2.85±1.35, while 358 (27.5%) had sub-therapeutic doses and 50 (3.8%) had overdoses. At least one DDI was present in 7.38% patients and a total of 21 drug combinations attributed to 112 DDIs. A total of 52 drugs were prescribed 3448 times, of which 1150 (33.35%) were unlicensed and 1798 (52.14%) were off labeled. Dose (61.29%) and indication (13.68%) were the most frequent off label categories in all the therapeutics classes. Chi square value determine that unlicensed drug use was significantly associated with the type of hospital (p<0.0001) and age groups (p<0.0001). Off label drug prescribing was also significantly associated with age groups (p<0.001). Multivariate binary logistic regression analysis showed that neonatal patients of age 0 to 7 days (OR 1.355, 95% 1.021-1.799), were significantly less likely to receive off unlicensed prescriptions as compare to reference age group. Male patients (OR 1.355, 95%CL 1.021-1.799) were significantly 1.3 times more exposed to receive unlicensed medicines compared to Abstract vii females. Neonatal patients of age 0 to 7 days (OR 1.631 (1.048-2.536) were also significantly 1.6 times more likely to receive off label medication as compared to patients of age 22 and above days. Of 420 patients admitted in pediatric intensive care units, the mean number of prescription per child was 4.13 ± 2.19, while 175 (41.66%) had sub-therapeutic doses and 54 (12.85%) had overdoses. Moreover, 74 (17.61%) patients had at least one DDI regardless of type of severity which were due to 41 interacting drug combinations leading to 156 DDIs. A total of 96 different drugs were prescribed 2453 times. Of these, 29.8% prescriptions were unlicensed from FDA and 42.27% were off label prescriptions. Dose (340, 32.79%) and indication (26.13%) was the highest reason for off label prescriptions. Multivariate regression analysis showed that patients receiving medications less than 5 (OR 0.280, 95%CL 0.137-0.570) were significantly less likely to receive off label prescriptions as compared to patients received 6 or more medications. In conclusion, prevalence of dosage errors and drug interactions was found to be higher in pediatric cardiology unit. A high prevalence of unlicensed and off label prescriptions was also observed in the present study which showed poor pediatric pharmacotherapy of our region. Increased number of prescribed drugs and infant age group were found to be significant predictors for unlicensed as well as for off label drug use. Unlicensed and off label drug use can also lead to adverse drug events. Therefore, to avoid exposing pediatrics to unnecessary risks, activities of health regularity agencies and perhaps, extra incentives are required to encourage the proper evidence based pediatric prescribing.
